Also the wings and center fuselage come as a large monoblock assembly as we've guessed before.

An observation, that assembly is shorter than the full length of a tendom main weapons bay. IMO that indicate that it is less likely a tandom arrangement from the perspective of structural strength, or in case of tandom arrangement the rear compartment only carries very light load. For comparison Su-57's tendom bay is constructed around two one piece titanium side walls through the whole length of the weapon's bay, and Sukhoi faced quite some challenge to make the design works as expected.

Seems that Turks wanted to by the prince of Wales carrier some years ago from the Brits:

"About 2 to 3 years ago, Turkey did not officially request it, but it was conveyed to the interlocutors that we were interested in the Prince of Wales if the British sold it. The British were very surprised by this demand at that time. I think they have deep regrets for not selling it now."

The main problem is what to put on it even if they buy it. Having that troublesome ship without an airwing is just wasting money.
